FG Takes Over Recruitment Duties From Teaching Hospitals by Wagasigiungu(m): 7:46pm On May 08, 2016
The Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole has declared that henceforth recruitment of staff for teaching hospitals will be done centrally by the Ministry of Health once in a year.
Adewole declared this while responding to a request made by the Chief Medical Director of the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH) Prof. Etete Peters on Saturday when he visited the hospital.
Peters had told the minister that lack of funds had made it difficult to recruit 141 staff members approved by the Federal Government.
He said that lack of funds had prevented the hospital from recruiting staff, in spite of waiver granted to employ staff of various cadres mostly nurses and resident doctors.
Peters, who decried the shortage of staff in key specialties, sought the Minister’s permission to recruit consultants in Neurosurgery, Chemical Pathology, Dental Surgery, Endocrinology and Pathology.

“The hospital is currently facing dearth of staff following massive retirement of nurses and other staff.
“The challenges facing the hospital range from paucity of funds, inability to complete the ongoing infrastructural projects to the provision of more medical equipment,” the CMD said.
He listed uncompleted projects in the hospital to include Radiology Services Block, General Outpatients Block, Laboratory complex, School Block and Theatre Building.
Peters also complained that facilities in the 520 bed hospital were over-stretched and as such the hospital needed more funds for expansion projects.
Responding, the Minister promised to look into the 2016 budget for the hospital with a view to ensure the completion of the ongoing projects.
Adewole said that he would like to inaugurate the General Outpatients Building within the fiscal year so as to give the hospital enough space for Accident and Emergency Unit.
He commended the Akwa Ibom government for announcing the release of N100 million for the completion of the General Outpatients Building out of the N150 million required.
The minister commended the CMD for maintaining services in the hospital in the face of lean resources and called for improvement.
He said that the 2016 budget was very tight and promised that more things would be achieved for the hospital in 2017 budget.
Adewole said that the recruitment of house officers in Teaching Hospitals would be done centrally from the Federal Ministry of Health once in a year. – The News.

It may go both ways- good or bad. Good in the sense that the recruitment process may be more objectively done since it will remove exploitation of prospective interns by the various teaching hospitals who tend to divert funds meant for recruitment of the approved minimum number of interns while over working the few recruited ones. Likewise most teaching hospitals especially in the North rely hugely on supernumerary residents doctors sent for training from various state governments thus refusing to employ regular resident drs.

Quota system on my mind. Half baked staff from North occupying positions in southern hospitals. They attend school by quota, get employed by quota. Regionalism is best thing that can happen to Nigeria. Let each region train and employ their staff. We are clamoring for decentralization, these people are adding more roles to a failed center.

Health practice should be uniformly made in Nigeria.

Let the federal government also take over recruitment of staff in the state university teaching hospitals, else, they end up producing sub-standard medical practitioners.

Besides, some state governors play dirty politics with the state teaching hospitals located in areas of their state which they don't like. They marginalize such hospitals.
Let the federal government forestall this by taking over recruitment of staff in state university teaching hospitals also.

Hencefort it shall be voodo recruitment, the type CBN did

I beg to disagree with you sir. While I can't completely rule out the possibility of such so called "voodoo" recruitment, I believe the probability of it being as pervasive as the status quo, is low. You ask why? Simply because the various cadres of healthcare professionals viz medical doctors, medical lab scientists, dental doctors, pharmacists, nurses, optometrists, etc are still grossly insufficient (though this is fast changing with the ways some institutions are churning out graduates of this professions) compared to other professional and non-professional courses.
In other words, it may be more transparent than what obtains in the current system. The teaching hospitals just refuse to employ regular residents and rely on supernumerary resident doctors and few interns, hence the general dearth of these professionals in these hospitals. Thus you find a lot of prospective resident doctors who hv already bagged the necessary pre-requisite of primaries qualifications in their chosen specialities wasting away years without getting placement, with some evn exceeding the stipulated expiration dates fr d validity

Na wa o. Can't we for once reason out of the box. Must we always create division on ethno-religious sentiments. And yet we keep clamouring for one 9ja or evn outright division of the country. Which way forward bro? So aboki is not worthy to work in the TH in the South? Our hipocrisy is unprecedented!!!!!

Hmmn. The average southerner thinks the northerners are mostly illiterates or at best half-baked semi-illeterates. The avearge Northerner thinks the southernes are mostly bigots, "unbelievers" and what hv u. This is the fundamental problem with us. We thrive on ethno-religious differences.
